Caitlyn Jenner Is An Unconventional LGBT Advocate

Caitlyn Jenner is "in on the joke" when it comes to Halloween costumes mocking her Vanity Fair cover, but other LGBT advocates aren't laughing.

"When you hear that there are companies out there that want to do Caitlyn Jenner costumes for Halloween from the Vanity Fair cover, are you in on the joke or do you think it's offensive?" Matt Lauer asked.

The director of one advocacy group called for a boycott over the costumes last month, saying: "This, in a year where 19 transgender women in the United States have been murdered. We aren't a joke. We aren't a costume. We aren't disposable."

Jenner, a Republican, is used to being a controversial figure since coming out as transgender. She says she's a traditionalist, including once having qualms about gay marriage, which led to her catching some flak from Ellen DeGeneres.

"If that word 'marriage' is really, really that important to you, I can go with it," Jenner said, explaining her thoughts on gay marriage.
